Well worth it! - Great overview to cable car system and Comuna 13. Walter was a terrific guide. After the tour I would feel comfortable exploring Comuna 13 without a guide. Highly recommend!

Awesome tour - Tour was awesome. Walter was an excellent guide and gave an honest historical background on the area and all the politics of the city back in the day and the modern era. We saw everything and also got to ride all the different modes of the transport networks in Medellin.

Beautiful tour and amazing neighborhood - Excellent tour - I think this is a "must do" in Medellin. Our guide was Walter and he was extremely good. If you want to understand the history of Medellin, conflict between drug cartels, paramilitaries, the government, and guerilla groups and how it has impacted normal Colombians, definitely go on this tour. I loved it because it was history from the perspective of a local community. And it's incredible to see how a local area has vitalized itself through strong community ties, art, and music.

**** - Daniel was a good tour guide and was knowledgeable about his history of Comuna 13. I felt like the tour felt a little rushed and I wished we had more time to explore Comuna 13 and buy souvenirs.
